FVN Chapter 55 Showdown With Bats
Chapter 55 Showdown With Bats
I slashed a few more bats that came down to attack us. Then I grabbed Galvin and carried him while I ran. Midas ran with us. By the light of the sect ceiling, I could see dozens and dozens of bats swooping down and attacking the school.
By the time I crossed the hundred meter distance, the school was in chaos. The bats were attacking students and teachers and ripping them apart. These clearly weren't vampire bats. They were straight up carnivorous. I saw one of them scoop an entire student into its mouth before chomping down and killing them.
I tried to save as many students as I could but right after I killed one bat and saved a student from it, another bat would swoop in and kill them behind my back. Eventually, I realized I needed to just kill as many bats as I could as fast as I could.
"Midas! Go get the bats! As many as you can!" I said to him.
The soul beast jumped into the air and used Vi propulsion to fly at the bats. He did the most efficient extermination method I could think of for him. He bit their heads off.

I silenced the notifications and went back to what I was doing, meditating more blood into my body. I poured condensed Vi into the bone marrow in my bones in an effort to produce more blood at a faster rate.
As I started to make the cage smaller, they realized their predicament and tried to fly out of the cage, but they got stuck on the walls. The holes were too small, just like I had planned.
I slowly but steadily made the cage smaller and smaller until I started to hear a rapid series of loud squelching noises as the bats were crushed by the cage and eventually cubed by the cage walls.
I was lucky they were all huddled in the same place, but they were bats. They tended to do that. Instead of pulling all the blood back to where I was, I let the blood cage fall out over the dirt floor of the vampire territories.
If I had dropped the blood over the academy, it not only would've covered everything in blood, but it would've caused literal flooding and it might've even caused structural damage to the buildings.
I was probably going to be in enough trouble as it was. Despite having probably saved dozens of lives from being picked off in the dark by those things. Only about a dozen people died from the attack thanks to me and Midas.
I was going to take the blame for their deaths for doing something the vampire association should've done years ago to prevent unnecessary death. Those were a lot of bats and since I hadn't seen any other creatures in these caves, they were probably surviving by eating people who went out to prevent dungeon breaks at the portals.
The Vampire Association wouldn't take responsibility for those countless deaths. But I just knew they were going to make me take responsibility for these ones. And to a certain extent they would be right.
I should've been more prepared for a big fight. I just didn't expect there would be hundreds of giant monsters hiding on the ceiling this close to the sect grounds.
I could've prevented any deaths if I had been prepared, but I was careless and people paid for it with their lives. I probably didn't deserve the charges they were going to throw at me, but I had made a grave mistake.
As I was contemplating this, I felt myself start to get sleepy. I knew what was going to happen and there was nothing I could do about it other than get down on the ground before I fell down. So that's what I did.
